Recent Acquisitions

Preparing for the Revolutionary War project meant new reference materials were needed. With a planned initial emphasis on the Saratoga Campaign, this title was a clear priority. 

Most were probably lucky if they had something approaching uniforms!

Light infantry tactics were clearly needed in North America!

As the war progressed, the Continentals became the core of the army. 

I'll probably need to get the 2nd volume, too!

I already had volume 1. 

I've actually had this volume for almost 30 years - no color plates (I have an online version of Mollo's book), but tons of details. Published in my original hometown - Greenwich, Connecticut!

This is the Robin Hood deck from King's wild The court cards for Spades are Robin, Marian,. and Friar Tuck, Hearts are Alan a Dale, Lady Christina, and King Richard, Diamonds are Sheriff of Nottingham, Prioress of Kirklees, and Prince John, while clubs are Will Scarlet, a Lady in Waiting, and Little John. The designs were inspired b the Bayeux Tapestry. 

I saw these Babylon cards, wherupon my Assyrian army demanded decks to compete with the Egyptians. 

Court cards certainly are Babylonian/Assyrian in style!

Finally, with the American Revolution project underway, I picked up some inexpensive American themed decks.
